Rev. W. 0. Mather Lions Club Speaker The regular meeting of Blyth Lions Club was held last Thursday evening in the Blyth Inn, Due to inclement weather and the Chirstmnas recess, this was the first meeting to be held in over a month and considerable busi• ness was dealt with, plus the pay ing of close to two thousand dol. Lars in outstanding accounts. Bill Riehl, treasurer, told the members that the club's coffers were dwindling fast and urged all Lions to take an active part in forth. corning money -raising ventures. Rev, .W, 0, Mather was a last minute guest speaker, filling in for a prearranged speaker who became i)) and unable to attend, He spoke interestingly of a race. of people in Canada called the Ilutterites, who live in the prov. inces of Manitoba and Alberta. These people are mainly of Aust- rian descent and came to Canada in 1918, They live in self-support- ing colonies and maintain a way of life far distant from that norm- ally found in this country, Mr. Mather has visited a colony and found them to be a deeply re- ligion race of people, and felt that perhaps many aspects of their way of life had great merit and might be augmented into our own systems, Varve McCallum thanked the peaker on behalf of the club. During the course of the meet. ing considerable discussion was meld concerning the leen town dances. Bili Howson suggested Clot it Wright be advisable for the Lions to drop chaperoning dot. los as it was becoming more And more difficult to find people will. ing to attend. He said he felt Cot the dances had gotten out of hand and were a" far cry from initial function. Several other Lions expressed their views, both pro and con, and it was decided to meet with the teen town exec utive before any concrete' ap• proach was taken, President Ralph McCrea told the club that representatives of the Blyth Agircultural Society had attended a Lions executive meet- ing to ask the club to take over all concessions at the fall fair. The feeling of the meeting on this subject was that not enough Lions would be available on an afternoon in the middle of the week to successfully conduct such an undertaking, However, final decision was held over until further investigation. • President Ralph presented Lions Robbie Lawrie, George Watt, Charlie Shaw and George Ives with builders pins, in recognition of bringing in and maintaining new members for the club, Harold Cook was appointed as the club representative on the Blyth and District Recreational Committee, with 13111 Hull as al- ternate if Harold is unable to at. tend any of the meetings. George Watt spoke briefly, o a public speaking contest he has been organizing which will be held in conjunction with a ladles' night meeting of the club in Feb. ruary. The meeting R-o•a•r. closed with United Church Membership Increased Last Year Sixty people sat down 10 a pot Tuck supper at Blyth United Church Wednesday evening, on the occasion of the Annual Con• gregational meeting. After the food was cleared away and the dishes washed the business meet. ing took place. Rev. W. 0, Mather was chairman and Mr. Irvine Wal• lace was elected secretary of the congregation for 1969. . The Session report showed the present membership of the cong• rogation to be 503, an increase of 23 over one year ago, During the year five members died and three were removed by certificate. The treasurer's report shotved all bills paid and a slight balance in the treasury. During the year the congregation gave $5830,00 to missionary causes, which induct. es that given by the U.C,W, This scents to be the largest amount ever given in the history of the congregation, Elders elected for a five year term were Mrs. Harold Vodden, Lloyd King, George Wasson and Keith Webster, The Stewards elected for the same period of time were ltrs.

Volume 80 - No. 29 Merchants Take Over First Place The action was at the Blyth arena last Friday evening as the Merchants continued their winn- ing ways as they defeated the visiting Monkton squad 9 to 6, and gaining possession of first place in the league standings. The first period proved to be almost disastrous for Blyth with Monkton taking a 4 to 1 lead. Don Aubin scored Blyth's lone goal of the period. The locals soon found out they couldn't win games by simply play. ing on their reputation and rat• fled in three goals in this stanza, two by Ed, Daer and one by Ken Lee, hurt still found themselves behind 5 to 4 as the visitors scor- ed one. The third period proved to be the big one for Blyth when they came up with five big counters. as against one for Monkton. Ed. Daer scored his third of the night and was 'helped with goals by Lary Boyd and Ken Lee with two each. Monkton returns to Blyth again this Sunday night and the action will no doubt again be hot and heavy. Why not come out and enjoy the game? You'I be doing the team a great favour If you do. The Merchants travelled to Rip- ley on Sunday and came+ home with an 8 to 2 win, Ron Henry picked up 3 big goals; Ken Lee notched 2; and Ken Daer, Larry Boyd and Don Aubin picked up one each, A trip to Zurich on Tuesday of this week didn't prove quite as successful for the locals as they went down to their first defeat In ten games by a 13 to 6 score. Larry Boyd scored • twice for Blyth. Singles went to Ken Daer, Don Aubin, John Stewart and Robert Cook, The team plays Friday night in Zurich and back home on Sunday night when Monkton will supply the opposition.

At the end of the first two periods the score was 4 to 2 in favour of Blyth. The boys play- ed layed a strong third period scoring five goals to the opponents two. Bill Cameron and Bill McDoug- all accounted for six of the Blyth goals with three each, while Don Stewart scored two and Rick Cameron counted one. Ron Rit- chie played one of his best game in the net to keep the Blyth team in the game at times. On Friday the Brussels team will travel to Blyth for the sec- ond game of the series.

Instead, they just half -kill themselves by attending a win- ter carnival. This makes them feel so rotten for the following week that they're so glad to be alive again that they wouldn't even coli template suicide. I've seen people age 50 years during a winter carnival, Don't talk to me about the October beer -fest in Munich, or the carnival of the bulls in Pamplona, or the Mardi Gras In New Orleans. Th oac things go on for a week, or a month, and there's a lot of undiscriminating kissing, and dancing in the streets, and drinking. We Canadians, hardy lot that we are, compress Bacchanalian orgy into a weekend: the winter carnival. Every self-respecting Canadian town has a winter carnival of some sort, and if the government had any brains, it would declArc a national festival for about the first week In February. It would be a great pressure -reliever. No work, all play, We'd get rid of our winter frustrations, our hatred of cold and snow. We might look and feel like skeletons when it was over, but we'd be purged of our hang-ups. Personally, I'd be willing to kiss practically anybody, and dance in .the streets. should it be 12 below, and drink almost anything except antifreeze, if I had a week's, carnival to look forward to, and back on. It would break :the bony, rigid back of winter. We'd just be climbing back into our ruts about Valentine's Day, and there would be spring, right around the corner. Two years ago, as a centennial project, our school had a Frosty Frolic. It was beautiful. There was no organization at all, which is the secret of a good time. One bright, white February day, we marched down to the park, teachers. and students in step for once, behind an impromptu band, and had a hell of a time, Skidoo races, tug•o-wars, and teachers being overpowered by mobs of kids and having their faces well washed in snow, For at least a month after that we didn't hate each other. I went in the snowshoe race and finished 21st. Went in a tug -o -war and was dragged 40 yards through the snow by exuberant. yelping students. Three years ago, son Hugh, laden with school work and music, and not doing too well in either, begged to he allowed to go to the Quebec winter carnival. He was- only 17. After the usual soul-searching, hedging, and predictions of disaster, we let him go. He was entranced. All those Quebecois dancing in the streets, being merry, loving one another. He carat home, went to work, pulled up his marks by 12 percent and passed his performler's tnusic exam. Therapy, Now Kim has been invited 4o a winter carnival, at a uni versity, by the jailJbird I mentioned recently. Should she go? She's 18, or near enough, In another country, she'd bc married, with at least one kid, In Canada, she's just a baby, with years of education ahead of her before she could even think of marriage, let alone babies. It will all sort out, but 1 think the winter carnival is a great institution. When it's all over, there are husbands looking for wives and vice versa, '!'here are people who have gone through the ice in a Ski•doo and saved their lives only by a hasty application of toddy to the tummy. The winter carnival has something for everybody. For the kids, there is the excitement and the colour and the chance of being run ove: by a snowmobile. For the swinging set, there are wild rides through the woods, and the parties, and the breaking of bones on the ski hill, For the middle-aged, there is curling and companion- ship and rememhereing the good old days before those noisy damned snowmobiles :were Invented, Long live the winter carnival, But let's spread it out a little. Forty -eight -hours of kissing and dancing and drinking brings even a sturdy Canadian to his knees. See you at the carnival.

Said the barber to the preacher, "This is why 1 cannot believe in a God of love. If God was as kind as you say,• Ile would not permit all this poverty, disease and squalor. Ho would not allow these poor brans to be addicted to dope anct other character•destroying habits. No, 1 cannot believe in a God who permits these things." 'I'he minister was silent until they met a man who was especially unkept and filthy, His hair was hanging down his neck, and he had a half-inch of stubble on his trace. Said the minister, "You can't be a very good barber or you wouldn't permit a man like that to continue living in this neighbourhood without a haircut or a shave." Indignantly the harber answered, "Why blame me for that man's condition? I can't help it that he is like that: He has never given me a chance to help him. If he would only come to my shop, I could fix hint up and make hint look like a gentleman!" Giving the barber a penetrating look, the minister said, "Then don't you blame Cod for allowing these people to continua in their evil ways, when Ile is constantly inviting them to come and. be saved, 'I'I►e reason these people are slaves to sin anti evil habits is because they refuse the .one who died to save and deliver them•" The barber saw the point.

THE INTERNATIONAL SCENE (13y Raymond Canon) HONG KONG — BRITISH OUTPOST My wife and I have been victims of the Hong Kong flu the past couple of weeks and while there are probably plenty of fellpw sufferers, it doesn't make it any easier to bear up under all the aches and pains, and get articles out on tune. If there is a bright side to the flu, 1 did at least get rid ot a kw excess pounds that I hadi been trying, not very successfully it must be admitted, to diet off. Also I had been planning an article on Hong Kong for some time. and now is as good a time as any. My interest in Hong Kong has increased greatly this year ever since .1 found out that I would be teaching half a dozen Chineoe students from this far-off place how 'to speak German, Teaching German to Chinese may strike you as a rather odd combination, but Germany. They need a knowledge of the German language to study i fie papers written in German, and hence the interest in that !anguage. Anyway they are a hard working bunch, and their German is now better than my Chinese. We often get talking about Hong Kong, and since there seem to be so many misconceptions about this little colony, it might he better if I gave you a few general facts nbout the place. First of all, this British crown colony was established in 1841 as 0 place where the British could carry on their trade in the Far East free from Chinese control. Although the original colon' was on an island, part of the mainland was taken over in 1860 and still more in 1898, so that today the mainland territory is ten times urger than the island. The entire area is called Hong Kong as is he island on which V ictoria the capital is situated. There is, there- fore, no city called llong Kong, just the island and the entire terri. ory. The island is separated from the mainland by a mile wide ,trait, which contains em' of the finest harbours in all Southern Mia Some of the older readers will recall th'at the island was In •Lided by the Japanese in 1941 and was taken only after a hard iattle with the British troops stationed there. Included among the defending troops was a Canadian detachment so that we had a direr •nterest in hong Kong during the war, In 1945 the island was returned to British rule and with the takeover of China 'by the Communists in 1948 the colony lost some .,1* its earlier importance. It is still important, however, as a clear. ng house between China and the West. Wha remarkable about Hong Kong these days is the ver -population of the colony and the wide range of products mann- :actured there that are shipped to all parts of the world. To be •ionest it is difficult to know exactly how many people are living here but an educated guess would be over 3,000,000 or 7,500 to the ;qu:ire mile. Compare this with Canada's 6 per square mile, an ;..ou get some idea of crowding. With such a population the island really has to provide a 'treat deal of work if the whole colony is not going to become a .vellare case, and so industries of all sorts have sprung up all over he place. They can compete on the world market because of low !about' costs, but don't get the idea that eveything from Hong Kong s poorly or cheaply made. I have in my possession several high quality articles from there that would match anything made in Canada. As far as some Canadian manufacturers are concerned, that's lie problem. The Chinese can match them in quality at half the price. Because Hong Kong has both a British colony and an outlet or mainland China for so many years, almost all the Chinese that :taw. immigrated to Canada have come through Hong Kong and peak the dialect of Canton, the' nearest large city. This is so different from standard Chinese, or Mandarin dialect that the ',two are mutually incomprehensible. 1 found this out the hard Way. After learning to speak Mandarin Chinese, 1 simply couldn't find anybody to talk to here in Canada. They didn't understand me nor I them, But after this year 1 no longer think of Hong Kong as a remote and unknown place. I think especially of a half dozen boys are willing to wort; like a dog to get their tongue around 'the German language. They are all going back home after their studies are finished here in Canada, but if things ever get dull in Hong Kong, they can always go to 'Germany and open that restaurant after riglINWIPMINRIERMNRERRINR1NONIMINIMMITIMMINIMMilIi • ••••••••-•-• •-••-•••••• 4* 044 1+444-6 • •-••••• • • 46 • • 40 *4 4* • fir 10+4 Elliott Insurance Agency BLYTH — ONTARIO.

Lucknow has lost but one game this season, that to Blyth hack in December. The local Lions jumped into an early 2-0 lead on goals by Cam- eron from Millar and German from Watson, and held on to their lead for the remainder of the per- iod. however the Lucknow boys came on strong in the second and scored 3 unanswered goals to take a 3-2 lead. In the 3rd period Millar tied the score on passes from Ritchie and Cameron and it looked as if Blyth were going to come through with a win. However Ian Mont. gomery, Lucknow's flashy centre - man had other ideas. He banged in 3 straight goals to wrap up the game for the boys .from the Sepoy town. Greg Riley in goal for Blyth made many fine stops while up front German, Millar and Camer• on carried most of the offensive load, Blyth picked up only one penalty, that to German for trip- ping. Blyth 5 Bussels 4 On. Monday night the boys tray oiled to Brussels to take on their rivals from that town and came home with a 5.4 win in a hard fought game. The score was close all the way with the teams all tied up 2.2 after one period. Scoring for Blyth were German from Rod• ger and Cameron from Millar, Blyth took a 4.3 lead in the 2nd period as Rick Cameron fired in two more goals to complete his ,hat trick, Millar and Ritchie assis• ting on one and Millar and Ger. man on the other. Brussels tied the score at 4 minutes of the 3rd period but 30 seconds later .Joe Flynn rapped in a rebound of a shot by Normie German, This was Joe's first goal of the season and certainly came at a good time. Blyth then held on for the remain- der of the game to preserve the 5.4 victory. Normie German sere. ed Blyth's only penalty for high sticking. This win assures Blyth a spot in the group finals against either Brussels or Ripley. The locals have one scheduled game left to play, against Wingham in Wing. ham on Saturday afternoon.

The (topic for discussion was the report of the Special Committee on Farm ln- come and its recommendaxions. 'J'he speaker for the evening was 11r. Hilbert Van Ankum, secre- tary Heldman of the Chr. Farmers Federation. He discussed the pre- sent trends in the Agricultural industry in the province of On - twit), which are outlined in the report. Most of these trends are fairly obvious and include the decline in numbers of farmers and farms, increase in farm sizes and capital requirement, lower net returns per product, a de- creasing share of the consumers dollar going to the farmer. The report also pointed out that in Southern Ontario certain agricul- tural industries, such as beef•cow• calf operations and the produc- tion of industrial milk, could not compete with present world pric- es. Discussing the reaction of On- tario farmers to the report, the speaker noted two distinct groups. First those who swear by free enterprise, think there is notching wrong with the present situation and want an absolute minimum, if any, oof government interfer• epee, Secondly there are those farmers who view the present cle- veloopments with alarm, consider every non -farmer and nonfarm group as an enemy and suggest a system of multiple regulations, boards and super -boards to pro- tect their own interests. The speaker suggested that under the first system many individuals suf- fered unduly, while under the sec- ond every individual would loose his freedom. IIe suggested that christian farmers should pursue policy of SOCIAL. JUSTICE: one deserves fair reward for one's labour but it is important to rea- lize that you rown advantage does " not need to be secured at the cost of someone else. This to Ontario farmers means that in seeking fair incomes they should not step on the rights of other individuals or ' groups, he these farm implement dealers, Ontario consumers or New -Zealand producers. The speaker favoured the set- ting up of a General Farm Organ• izzation, as a meeting ground for all farmers and farm opinions, and a common front for sofar this is possible. He objected however to the structure of the G.F.O. as suggested by the Report, on the basis that there would be no offi- " tial place for present voluntary organizations and the effective ex- pression of opposing views would be impaired. In the discussion that followed Mr, Mason Bailey warned th° • meeting against opposing the G. F.O., jjust because there was no agreement on its structure. Asked by Mr. M. Bean, of Auburn, why voluntary organizations were so • desirable, the speaker answered that voluntary organizations al• ' ways expressed the desires and opionions of its members much more closely than a compulsory • organization could ever hope to. Mr. Andy Groenveld, president of the local organization circulat• ed a petition at the :meeting which St protested the recent increases in ! the Inheritance Tax. The importation of low-priced English tractors- was discussed, The availability of parts and ser- ', vice would not appear to bo, the real problem, but getting someone ;; in England to do the actual pur• chasing is difficult. The 39 people present at the meeting were treated to coffee and cake by the wives of the board members of the local Chris - BOWLING SCORES The results of the Clinton•Blyth Ladies Bowling League on Janu• ary 2,1, are as follows: Pony Club, 99; Spares, 87; Douhtfuls (Blyth) 79; Quiet Ones 76; Hippies (Blyth) 75; Hot•tots, 04 high Single, Mary Davey, Blyth, 306; High Triple, Mert Elliott, 674; High Average, Mer( Elliott, 209. flan Farmers Association, Mrs. hers and Mrs. Case van A►ners• Andy Groenveld, Mrs. Ralph Lub• foort. •-••-•-•-•-• ♦ • • ♦ *4+ •-• N •#.*** •+•1-4 •-•••-++• •+ • • ♦ •-• • 4 4 • • •-• •• f i • 1 • • • • • • • • • • • • • • ♦ • • • • • • ♦ •••-• •-•-+•-•-♦ •++• • • ♦ •+♦ •+• • ♦-•-++++f Ribs & Kraut Make A Tasty, Economical Weekend Treat FRESHPORK RIBLETS 3 lbs. 1.00 SAUERKRAUT, 1 lb. 19e 2 lbs. 35c BRAISING RIBS per ib. 49c CUSTOM BUTCHERING Tuesdays; Pigs and Beef - Thurs.: Beef Only Cutting and Wrapping to your own specifications.
